Among the board’s timed items for Tuesday, during a public hearing scheduled for 9:15 a.m., Cal Fire will present the new fire hazard severity zone map.
At 10 a.m., the board will consider a memorandum of understanding between the county of Lake and the city of Clearlake for the design cost related to the regional skate park to be located in Clearlake, in District 2.
At 1:30 p.m., there will be informational presentations by Big Valley Band of Pomo Indians, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, California Fish and Game Commission, Chi Council for the Clear Lake Hitch, Lake County Agriculture Advisory Committee, Lake County Water Resources Department, Robinson Rancheria and State Water Resources Control Board regarding the current status of the Clear Lake hitch, or chi, which was the focus of a special listening session on Thursday and will be featured in another on Feb. 1.
The board will also consider a draft proclamation declaring a Clear Lake hitch emergency. That proposal was held over from the board’s Jan. 10 meeting.
Among the meetings is an untimed item in which the board will consider an application from a new nonprofit, Chico-based North State Solutions, to purchase remaining tax defaulted properties from the June property tax sale.
Treasurer-Tax Collector Patrick Sullivan’s report to the board explained that for the dozens of properties North State Solutions is offering $354,934.60, which he said is a significant potential discount from the assessed value. He cites other concerns, including a burden on county staff to monitor the nonprofits proposal “to otherwise serve low-income persons.”
Among the listed properties for sale are numerous lots in the paper subdivisions on the Northshore, which cannot be developed for numerous reasons, including lack of infrastructure and roads, and unstable slopes and soil.
Sullivan is recommending the board deny the application by North State Solutions for the properties.
Also in untimed items, the board will consider an agreement between the county of Lake and Sunrise Special Services Foundation for emergency warming shelter services in the amount of $153,600 for fiscal year 2022-23 and authorize the board chair to sign.
In a related untimed item, the supervisors will consider a proclamation declaring a shelter crisis urgency due to the current need for sheltering for those experiencing homelessness during the weather and temperature patterns that the county of Lake has been experiencing.
The full agenda follows.
